Lafayette Police Investigate Bank Robbery
At 12:02pm, Lafayette Police officers responded to the Centier Bank branch, located at 5 Executive Dr, in reference to a bank robbery.
A white male, standing about 61 tall, wearing a light-colored long-sleeved shirt, black sock hat and sunglasses, displayed a handgun and demanded money.  The suspect fled the bank with an undisclosed quantity of cash.  No shots were fired and nobody was harmed.
A short time later, officers recovered a bag containing cash that was found along the roadway near the intersection of Sagamore Pky N and Greenbush St.  It is suspected that the bag and money are related to the bank robbery.
The suspect is at large and considered armed and dangerous. This investigation is on-going.
Anyone with information about this case is urged to call the Lafayette Police Department at 765-807-1200, or the WeTip Hotline at 1-800-78 CRIME.
Questions can be directed to the undersigned.
